UNSPSC 50346901: Frozen amberlea gold tamarillo

The variety of tamarillo known as amberlea gold tamarillo that has been frozen for preservation.

UNSPSC 50346901 Frozen amberlea gold tamarillo is a Commodity code that spans specialty frozen fruit products, but the recent state and local solicitations tagged under this code show minimal direct relevance to the code's narrow nomenclature. The opportunities instead reflect broad food service procurement across school districts, state institutions, and public agencies—dominated by comprehensive grocery and produce bids that incidentally include frozen fruit items rather than tamarillo-specific sourcing. Recent solicitations from Texas Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC), multiple Georgia school districts, Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida, Fulton County Schools in Georgia, and the County of Santa Clara in California all use generic food service categories covering fresh produce, frozen foods, dairy, proteins, and supplies. The issuing bodies lean heavily toward school nutrition programs (Hancock County Board of Education, Early County Board of Education, City Schools of Decatur, Savannah-Chatham County Public School System, Henry County Schools, Bulloch County Board of Education, Rockwood R-VI School District, Bridgeport Board of Education), state-level health and human services facilities (HHSC operating multiple state hospitals and supported living centers), and a few specialized agencies (Oregon Department of Corrections, Head Start of Greater Dallas, Santa Clara County Sheriff's Department). These jurisdictions span Georgia, Texas, Florida, Missouri, Connecticut, Oregon, California, and New Jersey, with Georgia and Texas showing the highest concentration of recent activity.

The work actually being solicited reflects institutional food service supply chains rather than specialty fruit procurement. Representative recent opportunities include HHSC's IFB HHS0017660 for FY27 groceries at Big Spring State Hospital (bids due July 27, 2026) spanning 110 line items of proteins, prepared foods, dairy, pantry staples, and beverages with a prior-year baseline of $32,226.36; the City of Bridgeport's IFB BNB052266 for over 1,100 grocery line items supporting the Board of Education's Food & Nutrition Services (due June 30, 2026) requiring Buy American compliance with at least 51 percent domestic agricultural ingredients; Head Start of Greater Dallas's IFB 26-GP for approximately 32,409 cases of frozen foods, produce, and meat products meeting CACFP requirements with an estimated procurement value of $969,460.94; and the Hancock County Board of Education's IFB #SN002-2027 for fresh produce spanning over 200 line items (bids due June 26, 2026) with Buy American provisions. Frozen tamarillo appears tangentially in these broad-scope requests as one line item within expansive fresh-frozen-and-specialty-produce categories, not as a primary procurement driver. The code shows active state and local buying activity but little targeted market for frozen tamarillo as a distinct commodity—the code's assignment to these opportunities appears to reflect automated commodity coding rather than purchasing intent focused on this specific product.
